Where the World’s Unsold Cars Go to Die

Above are photos of thousands and thousands of brand new, unsold cars in various locations from the U.S., Italy, U.K., Spain, Russia, and elsewhere. 

Millions of unsold cars are left to deteriorate in old airports, parking lots, and new tracks of land being bought to store these cars. Auto companies won’t sell them at a cheap price because it wouldn’t be profitable to. 

The car industry cannot stop making new cars because they would have to close their factories and lay off tens of thousands of employees. This would further add to the recession. Also the domino effect would be catastrophic as steel manufactures would not sell their steel. All the tens of thousands of places where car components are made would also be effected, indeed the world could come to a grinding halt.

Hi guys, Zero Hedge is not a good source. For anything.

Gay teen in Chechnya pushed from 9th floor balcony after being outed

A gay teen in Chechnya has been brutally killed by his uncle after he was outed to his family.

[socialistgay]

its been over a month since this came to light and so few people are talking about this 

[cockandpokeballs]

This entire article is heartbreaking…

[iamsapphirecrimsonclaw]

I don’t want to hear a SINGLE Islamophobe talking about “THEY PUSH GAYS OFF OF ROOFTOPS” ever again.

[t-b-d-o-t-u]

You know that Chechnya is ~95% Muslim, right? You know that MUFTI (wikipedia: an Islamic scholar who interprets and expounds Islamic law (Sharia and fiqh) ) of Chechnya during assembly of other religious figures in central mosque of Grozny (there were about 15000 ppl) said that journalists who covered the subject of gay men will be punished by the Allah?

Do you really have the arrogance to think that you know more about islam than a religious authority of the region which was muslim for a longer time than US exists?

Do you think that MUFTI of Chechnya is also islamophobe because he paints islam as a homophobic religion with no concern for gay people suffering (which it fucking IS)?

[iamsapphirecrimsonclaw]

Are you a Trump voter? Because they’re the only people who toot their horns about how Muslims are homophobes that don’t belong in the country.

No, in fact, I didn’t know that! I’m sorry I’ve been too busy preparing documentation for a job than to know absolutely everything about everything, which is required on Tumblr! SILLY ME!

[princessdissociation]

I am no expert that would fit Tumblr standards either but at least we can realize it’s homophobia, not Islam.

The Chechen gov.m is allowing this to happen, not the Muslim people who live there…

[brosefvondudehomie]

You mean the Chechen government that is made of Muslims? That Chechen government? The Muslim filled government of Islamic Chechnya?

[princessdissociation]

That is no excuse to criminalize Islam and all the Muslim people of Chechnya.

No, they’re just retarded

WHAT
THE
FUCK

[roseerin]

“criminalize”?? what are on about?
No we want the corrupt islamic government to stop abusing and killing people and calling that out, Islam is heavily tied to their political movements its a contradiction to support them under any circumstances.

We want to criminalize islamic-state backed capital punishment legalized murder and child abuse and genocide of lgbt and atheist/other religions too chechens. It is unavoidable collision with the philosophies of islam that put as at odds with their fascist governments. for as long as one believes in freedom you cannot support islam as a religion.

[lipstickchainsaw]

In their defence, @iamsapphirecrimsonclaw is right; they didn’t push this kid off of the roof.

[misanthropymademe]

Meh, Islam’s had relatively freethinking phases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_Golden_Age
I checked and as per usual the fuckers in Chechen responsible for the most radical anti-gay sentiments are everyone’s favourite, the Wahhabists. I don’t understand what’s so hard about singling out the fundies. 

[slartibartfastibast]

“I don’t understand what’s so hard about singling out the fundies.”

It’s too precise and doesn’t induce enough cognitive dissonance. You’re either a bigot who hates brown people or you have to think there’s zero correlation between fundamentalism and hating gays. You have to be in one of those two bins, because these people don’t want to parse an opinion for nuance. They just want to be mad about something on the internet.

[mitigatedchaos]

Let’s be realistic - a compromise where specific sects of Islam are punished, and we just ignore e.g. Quranists, is not on the table.  That would mean admitting this foreign non-white religion can be bad at more than the random nutter level, which is not going to happen no matter how many gay nightclubs get shot up, not to mention the loss of pride involved.  

Gays are lower on the Progressive Stack than Muslims.

Though admittedly, I still don’t get why they love such an oppressive religion so much.

the nation and the state are inseparable concepts. the struggle for ‘national liberation’ is, from its very beginning, a struggle for the existence of a state (this is true even when ‘the nation’ doesn’t seek independence and only seeks acknowledgment and accommodation within an existing state apparatus; the struggle is dependent on that apparatus and envisions its indefinite continued existence)

Good thing I’m no Anarchist.

why are car blogs following me all of a sudden

is there some sort of Nationalist conspiracy among motor vehicle enthusiasts?

I’ll have you know that despite my leanings I only drive Japanese cars

I wanted to say “Trump is worse because he has a military to command” and then realized that Le Pen getting elected would mean having to deal w/ the fact that
France has the biggest fucking military in Europe

[mitigatedchaos]

What exactly were you expecting Le Pen to do with this military?  Invade and bomb countries in order to cause more mass migration?

Solar Egg in Kiruna

In response to a commission from Riksbyggen, Bigert & Bergström have created a sculptural chamber in the form of an egg-shaped sauna that has just been installed at Luossabacken in Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost town.

I’m Consequentialist, so I don’t think the fundamental difference in axioms will be resolved here.  Any other system seems to prioritize rule-following over people to me.

If they’re so competent, when are we going to hear plans for ＷＡＧＥ ＳＵＢＳＩＤＩＥＳ instead of a minimum wage hike?

(But yes, Paul Ryan is trash and may outright sink the Trump Presidency.)

What squid said, plus there’s a reason states own (yes, own) all the valuable land.  It isn’t some kind of accident.

You want a justification?  The state owns the land as a joint private owner, you’re just renting it.  Tada!  Now everything the state does except for foreign invasions is justified.
